The Tatiana Show — Lyn Ulbricht: After the Free Ross Appeal Oral Arguments

More than a year has passed since a federal judge sentenced Ross Ulbricht to life in prison without parole after he was convicted of creating and running the dark web marketplace known as Silk Road. On October 6th, 2016, Ulbricht returned to court to face a panel of judges to appeal his conviction, along with the issue of his receiving a life sentence. In oral arguments in a Manhattan courtroom Thursday morning, Ulbricht’s defense lawyer sparred with federal prosecutors over a range of issues, including the credibility of evidence, the role of two corrupt agents in the investigation, and the defense’s blocked attempt to call two expert witnesses to testify on Ulbricht’s behalf. Tatiana talks with Lyn Ulbricht–mother of the accused–about the day in court, what it could mean for the future of the case, and where it all goes from here. You don’t want to miss this very special episode. Original audio of the oral arguments can be heard at the below link: https://bit.ly/2dEh1ND

About the Guest:

– Lyn Ulbricht is the mother of Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the Silk Road website. Ross was convicted of seven felony counts in February 2015. Deeply involved with her son’s defense, Lyn has worked to bring awareness to the case through FreeRoss.org, media interviews, public appearances and other efforts. Since Ross was arrested, she has witnessed how the government prosecutes citizens; suppresses evidence; and violates the Constitution. She believes it is a story that needs to be told.

On this episode of The Tatiana Show, our friend from the crypto space Rob Viglione stops by. Rob is the co-founder of the Horizen project formerly known as Zencash. Launched in May 2017, Horizen is a cutting-edge technology platform that allows real life use beyond its Zen cryptocurrency. It includes the ability to implement sidechains and integrate third party technologies by using a hub and spoke type architecture.

Rob shares with Josh and Tatiana the recent breakthroughs in sidechain technology at the company and provides the major benefits they will bring such as:

Scalability- The sidechain will be completely independent from the main chain, so the core client doesn’t require any modifications.

Safety- Any possible security issues will be bound inside the sidechain and are limited only to the sidechain balance in the main chain.

Decentralization- Sidechains can be run without the need of a central authority or trusted parties to validate the cross chain transfers.

SDK(Software Development Kits)- Horizen’s sidechains allow for unlimited software languages and the ability to customize the logic or data with no limitations.

Rob responds to critics of crypto and blockchain who accuse the technology of being used only for drug dealers, pornographers, and money launderers. We ponder if it’s possible to have good regulation and whether we’d like to see blockchain go mainstream. We also discuss how decentralization is the key for blockchain and crypto to avoid the pitfalls of the current fiat system.

Formally a trained physicist, mathematician, and military officer, Rob’s experience working on satellite radar, space launch vehicles, and combat support intelligence informed much of his understanding of how blockchain technology could change the trajectory of global societies.
